Cardamom Spice



I unfolded one of my passions in the last post, Cardamom spice.

If we look into it a bit more it is a very useful spice.
 Egyptians chewed cardamom seeds as a toothcleener. Greeks and Romans used as a perfume. Vikings came upon cardamom about one thousand years ago, in Constantinople, and introduced to Scandinavia.

It is common in Indian cooking, just think of Masala Chai. How great is that....



CARDAMOM 
-when chewing on a few seeds, it takes away a bad breath. 

- it is also used to treat infection in gums. 
- it is good for the throat and lungs in general 
- if I remember correctly the Aurvedic medicine use Cardamum oils a lot for treating kidney stones 
 In India it is regarded as a cure for obesity. 
So, a good digestive.
